Yahoo! Offers Unlimited Email Storage
As Yahoo! Mail approaches its 10-year anniversary, the company has announced that it will begin providing Yahoo! Mail users with unlimited email storage starting in May 2007. When Yahoo! Mail launched 10 years ago, users got a 4MB of storage for their entire mailbox. Today, the company is aiming for unlimited mailboxes. Yahoo! Mail is currently the world's largest provider of email accounts. Yahoo! Mail has over 250 million global users.

Im assuming they are offering this unlimited storage since huge amounts of spam are sent to us everyday. Some folks I know, even though they have spam filter on, would send it to a folder to store it, they got so upset with the amounts.
Oh and attachment size limit is 10MB, "Total Size: 0KB of 10MB" put one pdf over 2megs and it was fine. The 10MB is also the total attachment size.
I could swear I've used yahoo mail more that 10 years, modems were in 14.4K time then, but can't remember how old were they. If it's really 10 years coming then I must have started using in the first year : o (still have the same mail address and the main one I use)
I have yet to find a free email service to allow this.
It's a shame, really, how else are you supposed to send stuff to people when you can't currently reach them (IM for instance)?
Basically, you still have to rely on the Snail Mail and send a letter with a CD/DVD :/
